X Building

Harlan Richards

It’s a barracks.
But not the military kind, though
It still has rules and regulations.
Pandemonium greets your eyes
When first you enter.
Sizing up soon-to-be bunkmates,
Wondering which one is the petty thief
Who will creep over to steal
Your new toothpaste, or
Last shot of coffee.
Over countless years I’ve been
Cycled through barracks like this,
No longer caring
About the lack of privacy,
Too much noise,
Too little sleep.
One prison after another,
One bleeding into the other,
The way prison bled away my youth.
